Winning ways

Normally, it's the Bollywood divas who dominate the annual Kelvinator Stree Shakti Awards, which felicitates women from different walks of life. This year a surprise winner in the business category was Nita Ambani, wife of Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries. Though the husband, who is under attack from the Aam Aadmi Party for allegedly colluding to raise gas prices, decided to skip the function, it was Nita who stole the show as she was given the award by Videocon Chairman Venugopal Dhoot. Nita, who came into the limelight with her cricket team, Mumbai Indians, gave her mother and mother-in-law all the credit for her success. With Reliance planning to raise its investments in corporate social responsibility projects, she is the person to look out for next year's awards as well.
